behind the vehicle. During operation,
lines appear in the display that represent
your vehicle’s path and proximity to
objects behind the vehicle. The image
automatically appears in the navigation
system screen* or in the auto-dimming
interior mirror whenever the vehicle is

yellow and red) to alert you of your
proximity to objects.
USING THE REAR VIEW CAMERA
TO ALIGN YOUR TRAILER HITCH
The center guideline on the rear view camera image assists you
in setting your steering wheel properly, helping you to align the
trailer hitch and tongue.
Objects in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and objects
in the green zone are farther away. Objects are getting closer to
your vehicle as they move from the green zone to the yellow or

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
DIESEL FUEL REQUIREMENTS
*
Ford recommends that you use only the diesel fuels that meet
either the ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20
biodiesel industry specifications. Outside of North America, use
fuels meeting EN590 or equivalent local market standard.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for colder temperatures.
For best results at temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is
recommended to use a diesel fuel that has been seasonally
adjusted for the weather. See the Fuel and Refueling information
in your Owner Manual for more information.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM
*
The system helps reduce carbon emissions, and requires the
completion of periodic drives to clean it. The information display
prompts you to complete an operator-commanded regeneration
procedure. Failure to comply with the required cleaning procedure
maintenance can result in damage to the diesel particulate filter
system that may not be covered under your warranty. See the
Fuel and Refueling information in your Owner Manual for
more information.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID LEVEL
*
To help reduce emission levels from the exhaust of the diesel
engine, your vehicle has a selective catalytic reduction system
that relies upon diesel exhaust fluid to operate properly. The
selective catalytic reduction system automatically injects diesel
exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to enable proper selective
catalytic reduction system function. Make sure that you check
your vehicle’s diesel exhaust fluid level during the oil change
service interval, but certain conditions or driving styles, such
as trailer towing or fast rates of acceleration, requires refilling
the diesel exhaust fluid tank more oen. See the Scheduled
Maintenance information in your Owner Manual for
more information.
FUEL TYPE, TANK CAPACITY AND FLEX FUEL
*
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank size varies based on
body style and engine configuration. Refer to the Capacities and
Specifications section in your Owner’s Manual for more details.
Flex fuel vehicles have a yellow ring around the top of the fuel
filler inlet (tube) and can use either regular unleaded fuel or E85
ethanol fuel.
It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and E85.
If you do switch fuels, it is recommended that you add as much
fuel as possible—at least half a tank. Do not add less than 5
gallons (18.9 liters) when refueling. You should drive the vehicle
immediately aer refueling for at least 5 miles (8 km) to allow
the vehicle to adapt to the change in ethanol concentration. If you
exclusively use E85 fuel, it is recommended to fill the fuel tank
with regular unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
If you do not have a flex fuel vehicle, then only use “Regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Do not
use E85 fuels, because your vehicle was not designed to run on
fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR FEATURE
In the event that the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or
entrapped, apply steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal
to slow the vehicle and reduce engine power. See your Owner’s
Manual for complete details.
ADDITIONAL TRAILER TOWING FEATURES
*
For more details, see the Towing section of your Owner’s Manual.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle has a system that displays a low tire pressure
warning light when one or more of your tires are
significantly under-inflated. If this happens, stop and check your
tires as soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure.
Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
TRAILER TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
The trailer tire pressure monitoring system is an added safety
feature that allows you to view your trailer tire pressures through
the information cluster.
Tire pressure sensors are mounted into
each tire on your trailer. The sensors send a message to your
vehicle indicating the current trailer tire pressure.
If the trailer tire pressure monitoring system detects that a tire
is low, a warning message appears in the information cluster.
The trailer tire pressure status screen in the information cluster
highlights the tire with a low pressure.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
*
If your vehicle has a spare tire, jack and associated tools, refer to
the following table for their locations:
Tool Location
Spare tire (pick-up trucks only) Under the vehicle, just forward of the
rear bumper.
